Shot this match last June, and it was a great time.

Basics: 3 person team, 3 gun match. 5-7 stages all shooters shoot something (rifle, pistol, or shotgun) on the same stage total time is when team is done + time penalties. Last match they had over 70 teams competing, with a great prize table. (my team came in 18th and we won $150) here is a post from enos.com from Dean, the match director. Follow the thread if you are interested. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=116513

 

 

 

Attention all shooters. After last years great match I keep getting emails about the 2011 3 man team event. The date will be Sunday june 19th. With a limited number of slots available to shoot with staff on sat the 18th. All entry forms, waivers and basic rules info will be posted on toptonfga.org in the ipsc section in the next few days. Last year the match filled up quick and we shot over 70 teams and over 225 shooters in a one day format, and had the prize table completed and everyone heading home around 6pm. The match fee has increased to $225.00 per team, but so will the cash payout. Last year we gave out over $15,000.00 in cash and prizes and I expect to do much better this year. We are still looking for a match sponsor, adn stage sponsors, but hope to have some of that confirmed over the next few months. This year it will not be a zombie styled match, so regular uspsa style targets will be used. Please make sure your team sends all waivers, and forms plus one check for entry together. If your team wants to shoot with another team make a note and send it along with the other teams members names. If anyone has any questions let me know. Good luck, hope to see many of you at Ft. Benning in a few weeks.

thanks

Dean

I think I am in... pending details.

You are already on my team...

Did you guys read the 1st post? The match is being held on Sunday June 19th, 2011 which might be father's day. You need a team of 3, and you pick your teammates beforehand. So you need to find 2 other people to shoot the match with. Your team should all be capable and be prepared to shoot pistol, rifle, or shotgun on all the stages. Think of it as a relay race, pistol shoots then tags in rifle, rifle shoots, then tags in shotgun, shotgun finishes stage is done. Keep in mind that it course of fire and stage description varies from stage to stage. Last year 1 stage required the team to shoot all rifles, another had all 3 shooting at the same time.

Ron, I'm not phased by anything. If it is fathers day, I will bring my daughter along because it's my day. She's cool with that.

It was fathers day last year too. Being able to go was my wifes fathers day gift to me. Tosser, Joelk and I had a blast. We came in a little farther down the list then RonHonda, but we were there for the fun not the fame, lol. I will have to look at the schedule and chat with the wife, but I'd do it again. It was fun. (I'll practice on the Texas star for the next one)

We were there for the fun, fame came as a result of the fun we had. Would have had more fun and fame if a shotgun did not breakdown on 1 stage and cost us about 180 seconds in penalties.

Maks....You have to ask?

I have to ask. lol.

I thought that was a given.

And the other?

Guess who?

Applications are up on the topton website http://www.toptonfga.org/IPSC.html

Here is some more info on the match;

 

The match is a true team event.

Some stages are shot as a relay with each shooter shooting a portion of the course of fire with a firearm and then tagging another member to shoot their portion.

Some courses are shot as a rolling thunder style event, in which all three members are on a common firing line and shoot at the same time.

Time plus scoring.

Some running is involved especially in the relay stages, and all shooters will have to shoot each type of firearm sometime throughout the match.

Last year we filled up quick and I am hoping that it will be the same this year. Anythign from 5yds to 200.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Ask around anyone who shot the match had a blast.

thanks

So anyone else going?

Oh, I gotta try this one day. Gotta get save up for a rifle and shotgun!!

I'm going. BMAN.... And another friend are my team. It will be another good time.

Hmmmm, looks interesting

Looks like a lot of fun. If only I didn't already set the day aside for my first IDPA match.

match is full and has been for a few months already.

If you are not doing anything, check it out! it is a lot of fun.

It was a blast last year. Going again this year.

someone take some videos!!

Match was great.

Very humbling on the long range stuff. Need more practice with the rifle. Wait what rifle?

We were 24th, 7th, and 4th on stages 1,2,and 3. But the last 3 stages were tough and it did not help that we did not perform as we could/should have and we crashed and burned.

Anyway here is video of the team that finished 2nd overall and were also in our squad.

We didn't come in very high on the list but it's no matter. We had a great time and I would reccomend this shoot to anyone.

Did the noveske guys try to "cheat" again? Just curious.

 

And how many teams shot it the day before as Staff? How did they do?

Ronny, what was long distance? how far?
